Ethos group at Fairtrade Conference

Mon 11 Feb 2019 Mrs Bird

Last Friday, several members of our Ethos group, attended a Fairtrade Conference at County Hall, Preston, hosted by Lancashire County Council. The children were very impressed with the grandeur of County Hall and had a really busy day learning all about Fairtrade and why it is such a crucial support for farmers in poorer communities around the world. They took part in fascinating, interactive workshops focusing on tea production in Kenya, chocolate production in Ghana and the football producing industry in Pakistan. By the end of it, they were incredibly knowledgeable about the importance of Fairtrade and the Fairtrade Premium on so many families' lives. They are now planning on running some Fairtrade events after the half term, to educate our children, raise the profile of Fairtrade and have a bit of fun! A big well done to Megan, Nikita, Paige and Faye for being wonderful ambassadors for the school and gaining so much from this brilliant conference.

Chinese New Year Celebrations

Tue 05 Feb 2019 Mrs Bird

Coppull Parish celebrated Chinese New Year in style this year, with every child taking part in Chinese drumming performances and Dragon dancing workshops. The noise of all those drums reverberating around the hall was phenomenal! The children learned all about China and the Chinese New Year celebrations in class and have produced some lovely work, which will be on display in our classrooms.
